PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

A red-coated footman greets arriving visitors; he sets the tone for everything else at this fine hotel. Relaxed luxury is perhaps the best way to describe the Crowne Plaza. Some rooms have the wooden beams typical of canalside houses in Amsterdam, and each accommodation comes equipped with a trouser press, comfortable armchairs, and good desks for those who want to work. This hotel is a good bet for tourists as well as expense-account travelers. An ongoing renovation program ensures that rooms and public spaces are kept up-to-date. Dorrius is a fine Old Dutch restaurant. The Amsterdammer Bar & Patio has the style of a typical local cafe.
